Ooh, Step up here, Ooh, Ah, Ooh
[Verse 1]
F#m D
Now get down people and listen to me
E
Gonna tell you how I made history
G
You can call me Louis, I''m the king of France
G
Check out my story while you do your dance
D
Now in seventeen hundred and eighty-nine
E
The peasants were starving, but I was fine
D
We were hanging out, down in old Versailles
D
That''s the week end pad of my Queen and I
Bm D
In the alleys of Paris they was eating rats
D
But it was filet mignon for the aristocrats
G
There were Dukes and Counts and Barons and Earls
F#m
I gave them the titles but I kept the girls
D
Blondes, red heads, wild brunettes
E
Ladies-in-waitin'', I didn''t wait to get
D
There was truffles for breakfast, toast for brunch
A B
The line of the Folies Bergère for lunch

Ooh, Come on baby fill it up,
E
Ah, Ooh meet at my chambers if you like
[Verse 2]
D
Well if Paris was rioting, they were doing it good
E
When we heard there was some trouble in the neighborhood
D
I wasn''t too worried, no big deal
D
You step out the line, Jack, you''re in the Bastille
Bm D
The party kept swinging all day and all night
E
The champagne was flowing, we was feeling all right
D
They were screaming for bread, things started to shake
D
But Marie-Antoinette said (Well let ''em eat cake!)
D
Now the rabble wouldn''t have it, they was angry with me
E
They built a big old razor called the guillotine
D G
Then the people all shouted, "We''ll have our day"
D
"Down with dirty water, give us Perrier!"
D
I said the more you want, things might get screwy
E
But they''ll never lay a finger on good King Louis
A
Just keep your cool, don''t fret, don''t freak
A
I say Hey!
A
(Say what?)
B
C''est magnifique!
[Chorus]

Well they broke down the gate in one massive assault
D
And the party came to a grinding halt
G
They took the midgets and the freakies with the girls and all
F#m E
And the boys said, "Louis, it''s time to go"
D
They put my neck on the block, they took off my wig
D
And It occurred to me this was the end of the gig
D
They asked me did I have any last words to say
A Bm
Well, I raised my head and I hollered "Hey!"
